Photo to Text is a browser OCR tool that pulls editable text out of photos, screenshots and PDFs — JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, HEIC and TIFF are accepted — and lets you copy it or download it as DOCX, Markdown or TXT. Tables can be extracted to Excel.
It runs without an account, and guest conversions are not transmitted or stored. Two modes trade cost for accuracy: Simple (1 credit per page) for clean text, and Advanced (10 credits per page) for blurry, tilted or handwritten material.
